Resource-intensive industries, also known as land-intensive industries, are clearly industries that rely on land and related resources, the most typical of which are agriculture and mining.
East Africa is a typical great power in agriculture and mining. There's no need to elaborate on agriculture, and with the expansion of East Africa's land area, the mining industry is rapidly growing, especially in the central and southern regions of East Africa, forming many cities that have risen due to mineral resources.
With the economic cooperation between East Africa and Germany and Austria, the export volume of East African mineral resources has begun to rise annually. Agriculture is not much of a concern, as East African chemical industry is lagging, and agriculture is still primarily organic. However, the pollution from mineral resource development is quite severe on land and rivers.
